The Wounded Lion
The wounded lion
There was a calamities
In his land
The brutality of bad politics
Keep burning down
His home town
Time keep passing
Yet this circumstances
Never change
He grew up watching
The rain of fire befallen
His community
This all was an influence
To his braveness
Cos I remember he once said
No matter what the eyes see
It can't shed blood but tears
The wounded lion
As time passes
He grew up to a man
He grew up fearless
Cos what more can he see
To be scard
In an genocidal community
What more can he lose
After losing his land
So his mind was made up
To defend his land
Yet he was hurt
So badly hurt
So sad that out there
He was fear
Yet more sadly they he
Was killed by his own people
So on this quest
I understood the words of the old
I see clearly why the old say to me
When you fight for your people
Reserve a hand for the people
From your people who will
Fight you for fighting for them
